17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

There are so many fun ways to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a baby. Making custom gifts is one of them. Here are 17 great handmade baby items/gifts to show your excitement for a new baby.

Further, many of these are less expensive than buying store bought presents (which saves you money). I know quite a few people who make multiple handmade baby gifts in blue, pink, or neutral colors all at the same time so they have many gifts ready for when the occasion arises–which is very efficient.

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

1.  Baby Soft Block with Ribbon – These blocks are pretty easy to make—and adorable!

2. Handmade Baby Beanie– Free patterns for sizes preemie and up. I love to crochet beanies and customize them!

3.  Feather Baby Mobile – Making this darling mobile is both easy and inexpensive… and it does its job. It entertains my baby for each diaper change.

4.  Krinkle Toys – Cute, entertaining and useful.

5.  Jellyfish Toys – The crunchiness of this jellyfish is due to a bit of cellophane inside so when baby scrunches the toy it makes a great crackling sound to stimulate his/her senses.

6.  Crib or Toddler Blanket – It doesn’t take very much skill (just knowledge of how to sew in a straight line) to make this custom blanket for a baby you are celebrating.

7.  Toy Bag and Playmat– Babies are usually stuck playing in one area for months. Having a clean and ready area that the baby can play on which doubles as toy storage is something any mom would appreciate!

8.  DIY Diaper Changing Pad – Stylish, practical, and cute. Soon-to-be new mothers will adore this.

9.  Cupcake Onesies Gift Idea – This Onesie Cupcake Baby Shower Gift is so easy to make, and has that “cute factor” that everyone loves at baby showers!

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

10.  Travel Change and Play Mat – The entire mat is completely machine washable to make for a nice clean playtime & diaper change.

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

11.  Tilly and Tommy Elephant Softies – Make sweet elephant softies in a snap that will delight your little (and not so little) ones. Baby won’t be able to resist those big floppy ears, embroidered eyes or cute knotted tail.

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

13.  The Bapron! aka the “Baby Apron” – This bib is really cool! It provides a ton of coverage in the front, much like an adult apron, and ties in back with bias tape!

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

14.  Flannel Receiving Blanket – When it comes to gifts for babies, we love to give items that are practical. You can never have too many flannel baby blankets.  Make an easy baby blanket by binding the flannel with coordinating quilting cotton. They are a great baby gift to have on hand.

15.  Bow and Headband Holder – Cute hair accessory holder, I plan on making one for my daughter!

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

16. BareFoot Sandals for Babies- These are just adorable! Both of my babies would never keep their shoes on. They’d kick at them till they fell off. This is a great way for them to have a barefoot feel and yet still be styling.

17 Darling, Practical, & Custom Handmade Baby Gifts

17. Car Seat Cover– This is one of the cutest I’ve seen. Great idea, useful, and super cute!

18. Easy Baby Bib with Free Pattern – These bibs can be made with any kind of fabric. You can make this for around 15 minutes with a free pattern.

19. DIY Travel Diaper Changing Pad and Clutch Bag – This travel sewing pattern for babies is easy to make, easy to carry, and easy to clean too! A perfect gift to give to a new mom. 

20. Modern Baby Bootie – These booties are just adorable. 

21- Baby To-Go Bag – This is a wonderful gift to give to a new mom.

I hope this round-up of darling, practical, custom handmade baby gifts has given you some great ideas.

    Ah these are so adorable! You can’t go wrong with a handmade gift really, I bought my expectant best friend a moses basket and made a little blue cushion to go inside, she was absolutely thrilled.
